Jay helped roseanne to get into his car and closed the door. She was still scoffing at him.
"Where do you live?" he asked after getting in.
" xxx area." she answered emptily.
Jay started the engine and drove away. Their ride was a silent one as Roseanne stared out the window.
"Do you have any guesses about that guy?" he asked.
"No." she replied still looking out the window.
Jay sighed heavily. After more silence,Roseanne spoke up.
"It has always been this way."
Flashback:
Roseanne was outside her mom's office. Her secretary stood up from behind the counter
" Hello Miss.Roseanne. Mrs.Park has gone to attend a meeting right now. Please come back after an hour." she bowed.
Roseanne just sighed, rolling her eyes.
She decided to wait in the lounge room, alone on the same floor. Her phone buzzed, echoing in the empty room . It was a message.
Unknown :
I will make your life into a living hell. You deserve the worst.You are going to regret everything you did.
Roseanne gulped out of fear reading the message. She called the unknown number and while the phone rang, she tried to remember every bad things she had done in her life. Someone answered making her heart thump loudly.
Heavy breathing came from the other line.
" Who are you?" she asked trembling.No answer.
" I said who are you??" she raised her voice shaking badly, " What have i done to you...just what do you want from me??" .
Buzzzzzzt. The other line was cut.
She stared at her reflection on the black screen, now on the verge of tears. She had never got a call like this before. It was like as if this person wanted revenge from her. What had she done this bad for a person to be wanting a revenge? Also something terrifying like this?

She turned her head ,terror in her eyes. That was the sound of a camera and she could never mistaken it. There was no one but she rushed to the door, looking left to right. " Who is that??"
Her breathing was so loud, it echoed in the hallway. The secretary outside was also nowhere to be seen.
:End flashback
Anger was evident in his eyes as he gripped the wheels tight. 'Tch'. He couldnt say anything more, fixing his eyes on the road.
Soon after they arrived outside Roseanne's apartment.
"Can you go by yourself?"
"I can." she took out her heels and was about to leave, " Thanks." she said without looking and closed the door. All he could do was stare at her walking figure till she entered her apartment.
The Club
Liliane came back to Julia and halted after seeing two guys.
" Lilie are you done?" Julia asked.
"Yeah...umm are YOu done?" she replied looking at her and the guys. One she recognised was Norman from Jeon company. The other she had never seen him.
"Yeah, we should go back." Julia stood up holding Liliane's hand. " Um we'll be leaving." she paused,looking at Gerald.
" Sure. Please be careful." he said standing up.
Julia smiled and left with Liliane.
"Guess we should be going too right, gerry?" Norman said smirking. Gerald just gave him a Will-you-stop look.
Club parking lot
Harley was just sitting at one of the stairs,hands covering his face. Anyone who had passed by would think that he looked terrible. His long black hair was a mess due to excess ruffling and pushing back. Even his eyes were red due to too much drinking.
Ezra walked towards him, "Harley are we done yet? why'd you drink so much?".
" Ezra, Am I a bad guy?" Harley asked out of nowhere with sadness.
" No, you're Not Harley. Let's go please." ezra tried to pick up the miserable guy.
" Answer me!!" he shouted grabbing ezra's collar while stumbling.
"I SAID NO." he shouted back pulling harley and dragged him towards their car. Ezra was tired of his act. While they struggled to their car, sounds of clicking heels came towards them .
Julia and Liliane were coming their way and stopped instantly after seeing the other two guys.
Harley and Julia looked at each other shocked. Liliane and ezra were frozen in their spot.
Julia looked at the ground and hurriedly pulled Liliane towards their car ignoring him. Harley stared at their figure till they were gone and stared at the ground again.He pushed his hair back which fell back down covering his eyes.
Ezra scratched his head in frustration " Harley stop sulking over the past."
He didnt say anything.
" You won't even tell what the f**k happened between you and Julia." ezra dragged him angrily.
" I'm sorry." Harley whispered. It wasnt Ezra or Jay's business to know about Harley's issue but at this point it really looked serious. And yet Harley refused to talk about it. This obviously made Ezra upset from the inside.
He sighed, finally reaching their car. "As your wish."
The club
Joan and Mona was now with another pretty woman with red lips. She seemed unbothered by the whole situation. After applying her red lipstick in the washroom, she smiled at her reflection.
" What do you think that Jennifer wanted Charles to tell??" Mona asked curiously, looking at her through the reflection as well. Joan uncomfortably rubbed her arms, not looking at the either two girls.
" Well, to be honest i never expected the two to be connected..." Irene turned her face left to right seeing if there was anything on it. " But anyways, it wont be long till its revealed."
Mona and Joan looked up to and respected Irene alot and the reason why they were always following her around everywhere. The two girls parents worked under Irene's company and they usually obeyed whatever Irene asked.
After stepping out of the washroom, Irene bumped into a girl. It was jennifer. The other two girls behind gasped a little. She looked like she was in a rush and not want to be bothered.
"Oops.Im sorry. Did i bump into jennie?" irene said with an annoying smile.
" Watch it...Irene." jennifer replied glaring at her then rushing forward, walking towards the exit of the club.
" pfft." she said to herself, raising her eyebrows, " Better you watch yourself Kim Jennie." she smirked. Irene didnt like Jennifer at all due to personal reasons. Mona and Joan followed whatever she did so they automatically didnt like her as well. "Yeah, whi does she think she is?!" Mona scoffed after she was gone. Irene only smirked, walking away with the two girls behind her.

Meanwhile, Liliane and Julia got inside their car.
" What's wrong with you two?" Liliane asked in a flat voice. Julia didnt reply. " For real julie.."
" Lets talk about it some other day." julia said without looking at her.
" Whatever you want."
" Jennie has gone out of her mind. what is she planning this time?" Julia changed the topic to a more important one.
" God knows. i'm really f*****g tired of her." Liliane replied. Jennifer always did reckless things and they never knew what she was upto. But today she really crossed the line by ruining one of Liliane's most important party.
" She doesnt look like she's giving up." julia stared out and her eyes landed on two girls.
They passed infront of their car, one of them pulling the other in a hurry.
" You invited that b***h too?" Julia asked full of disgust in her voice.
Liliane followed her gaze and replied in a matter-of-fact-way " Ofcourse her dad knows me so.."
" Let's go already. I'm sick of seeing these people." julia rested her head on the seat.
Liliane agreed starting the engine and drove away.
On the other side, It was Irene who was pulling Joy in a rush, just in front of Liliane's car.
Irene stopped infront of their car that was few steps ahead. " Listen, I bumped into Jennie and..." she started saying then suddenly, joy cut her midsentence, " Can we not talk about this topic? I'm tired of your jennie jennie jennie all the time. I feel like it's literally draining all my energy just by listening to it." she said annoyed, probably not in a good mood after the party got cancelled all of a sudden.And the prime reason for it to be Jennifer Kim herself.
" Let me continue Joy...it's important."
But Joy didn't listen and climbed inside the passenger's seat, slamming the door.
Irene looked disappointed as her sister ignored. Irene sighed loudly, putting her hands in her hips. Her cousin sister, Joy was never interested in her talks as they didnt really go along well. It honestly bored her sometimes so they never had conversations as much as possible. Just then something caught her eyes. It was only for a brief second, but she was sure she saw Jennie at the far side, if not mistaken, pulling a guy behind the club building.
She just raised her brows slightly with a little smirk.
